Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people divide all their wealth among their sons during their lifetime, before their death, and distribute it to them according to the rules of inheritance. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
If he distributes it equally among his children, if he distributes it with justice, there is no harm. But it is feared that new children may be born, and he has already distributed his wealth to those currently present. What does he do? What does he do after that? The best is that he does not distribute it, unless he knows that no more children will come, and it is finished. Yes.
